...people to live in? What about leaving the colony you created and then returning to find nothing in the location in which you left it? That is exactly what happened to The Roanoke Colony also know as The Lost Colony. In 1585 John White, governor of Roanoke, traveled with a group of people to colonize the “New World”. Along with him was his daughter, she was pregnant, she gave birth to the first English child, Virginia, born in the Americas. The colony was founded by Sir Walter Raleigh, who sent John White as the governor. When they ran out of supplies in the colony White returned to the England. He got delayed on his journey back to the colony because of the war against Spain. When he returned in 1890 the colony, of 100 people, was deserted and his daughter and granddaughter had disappeared with it. Many things could have contributed to the disappearances of the colony. The Roanoke Colony was the first attempt to...

...children. The voyage also included of Whites daughter Eleanor and her husband, Ananias. The passengers were aware of the risk to Roanoke, but it was over weighted since Ralegh promised them each 50 acres of land. Throughout the journey, two men Darby Glavin and Dennis Carroll, who were both Irish were lost before reaching Roanoke. Once arriving at Roanoke, the settlers were faced with hostile Indians. However, the English men had Mateo, a Croatoan Indian, the chief who assisted the English. The first couple of months were peaceful for the settlers until they had a shortage of supplies....

...Native Americans at first humbly welcomed the English explorers up until the seventeenth century. Little did they the Natives know, their welcoming would become their undoing. During around the fifteenth century, the English explorers arrived on the northeastern shores of America and were welcomed by the Native American tribes into their villages. Both parties saw this as a good opportunity to trade and exchange goods. The Natives generously provided the English explorers with resources, supplies and skills to use to...

...The moment Arthur Barlowe handed a few gifts to Wingina’s scout from his ship, that was a moment the Native Americans and the British settlers really could have started their partnership off well. Both parties could have brought so much to the table that would have allowed each other to prosper and grow. Though friendly and mature partnership could have been formed between the Natives and British settlers, the exact opposite happened. How did it come to be that instead of trading resources with each other peacefully, both Indians and British faced an event where a head was found in Edward Nugent’s hand? Why couldn't the Indians and the British just get along? When Queen Elizabeth I gave Sir Walter Raleigh, the man that is known as the real pioneer of American Civilization [xi], the right to discover, search, find out, and view a new land [35], Raleigh was immediately ready for it. He sent out two sailors, Philip Armadas and Arthur Barlowe, off to find a new colony. Around the summer of 1854, they discovered the Island of Roanoke and made friendly contact there with the Algonquian-speaking Indians, one of them Granganimeo, the brother of a weroance named Wingina. As the Indians grew to understand the British more, they started exchanging goods with each other. The Natives were completely amazed by the items the newcomers had brought with them and believed it held a great source of montoac. To the Natives, montoac represented a power that was far beyond any human capability...

...9-391-155 REV: AUGUST 13, 2001 JOSEPH L. BADARACCO, JR. Ann Hopkins (A) The general method of maintaining an informal executive organization is so to operate and to select and promote executives that a general condition of compatibility of personnel is maintained. Perhaps often and certainly occasionally men cannot be promoted or selected, or even must be relieved, because they cannot function, because they “do not fit,” where there is no question of formal competence. — Chester I. Barnard, The Functions of the Executive, 1938, 1964 Many of the best companies really do view themselves as an extended family. — Thomas J. Peters and Robert H. Waterman, In Search of Excellence, 1982 Ann Hopkins was nominated for partnership at Price Waterhouse in August 1982. A senior manager in the firm’s Office of Government Services (OGS) in Washington, D.C., Hopkins specialized in large-scale, computer-based systems designed for government agencies. Her 1982 partnership class included 87 other candidates; Hopkins was the only woman in the group. Price Waterhouse offered partnerships to 47 of them, rejected 21, and placed 20, including Hopkins, on hold. Soon afterward, Hopkins met with the firm’s chairman to discuss the decision and the admissions committee’s recommendations. It had suggested that she be given more work with partners and undertake a quality control review in order to demonstrate her skills and allay concerns about her. In 1983, however, one of her original supporters at...

...BUSI604: International Business Global Cultural Analysis: Japan Liberty University June 24, 2013 Abstract This paper provided an opportunity to take a deeper look into the country of Japan by conducting a Global Cultural Analysis. Throughout this paper the following four research areas were explored: 1.What is the major elements and dimensions of culture in Japan? 2. How are these elements and dimensions integrated by locals conducting business in Japan? 3. How does U.S. culture and business compare with the elements and dimensions of culture integrated by the locals conducting business in Japan? 4. What are the implications for U.S. businesses that wish to conduct business with Japan? Japan has the third largest economy in the world. Having one of the largest economies comes with many rewards as well as challenges. Japan’s main reason for success is their culture. “Japan’s culture stems first from bushido, an ancient code that exalts loyalty to one’s superiors” (Emery, 2001, para.1). Japan has also been successful in part because of their superlative electronic and Information Technology industries as well as a very strong automotive industry. Imports and exports have been in instrumental in Japan’s success. “Japan is the 5th largest importer and exporter in the world,” (Japan Export, & Trade, 2013, para.1). Despite Japan’s prominent position, they have been experiencing major financial issues just like the rest of the world. Japan’s...
